Workholding Fixture for 5-Axis Machining



Engineered for compactness, the MST Smart Grip workholding fixture is designed to minimize interference and to allow enhanced accessibility to toolholders and cutting tools.

With increased clamping force and rigidity, the Smart Grip is designed expressly for milling applications. Set-up is quick and easy, reducing production time. Workpiece holder set-up can be performed off line, minimizing machine downtime.

The Smart Grip base unit utilizes HSK A type connections, including A40, A63 and A100. The system offers high axial positioning accuracy and enhanced rigidity against bending forces. Smart Grip offers a choice of workholder interfaces, including dovetail clamping, a rigid dual face clamping method that requires only minimum clamping surface and allows stable and heavy machining from various directions without repositioning the workpiece. 

Smart Grip is also suitable for 4th axis and tilting rotary tables. The Smart Grip HSK-A base unit is available with either manual or hydraulic clamping.

Tecnara Tooling Systems is also a supplier of Kawata TOUCHDEX indexers, Kitagawa rotary tables, MST Rite-Angle attachments, MistCapture filterless mist collectors, the Super Ario workpiece accumulators and other high-performance tooling systems.
